Mumbai: Nov 18, 2011
Manish Pandey revealed he wants to score big runs in domestic cricket and win the India cap soon.
The Karnataka batsman scored his first century of the season against Mumbai during their Ranji Trophy clash at the Brabourne Stadium.
“When you convert your starts to big scores like 150 runs, that counts a lot. I have to make the decision now to convert 60s and 70s to big scores and make a good name and play for India as soon as possible,” Pandey said.
The 22-year-old said a big score against a team like Mumbai always gives you confidence.
“It’s my first century of the season so it felt good. It’s always good to score runs against a good side. They have some really good bowlers. Ajit Agarkar was back for them so it gives you confidence and a lot of boost. I’ll look to bat again tomorrow, start from zero and look to get more runs.”
The Indian Premier League team, Pune Warriors players had retired hurt after suffering with cramping because of dehydration on day one.
The former Royal Challengers Bangalore player insisted the condition were batsman friendly and it depended on batsman to make the most of it.
“It looks like a batting wicket, a nice batting track. Robin Uthappa got a good start and even Ganesh Satish got good runs. It depends on the batsman; you get out only if you commit a mistake. We’ll look to post good runs.
